Domain name change
-
Dear team, If a website with a domain name - example - raisins.com wishes to change to peanuts.com is this a dangerous task or a relatively simple one? I hope that by keeping my Q short, provides ease.

It is dangerous if you simply move the content to another domain and don't have plans to implement redirects, etc.
It isn't "dangerous" if done correctly. A well executed migration may see a drop in traffic for a 2-6 weeks (ballpark) and then things should settle back in to normal levels. It's going to depend on the size of the site and the complexity of the migration (content being eliminated, added, massive URL structure changes, etc).
Here are some good migration resources:
